Fantastic place with a large range of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, Nibbles, cakes and Dog Friendly. Staff are amazing. Thank you so much for an unplanned drop in!

Fabulous cocktails made from scratch and not the usual 'mixes' that a lot of bars are fond of using. Lots to choose from and lovely staff to serve them. Very reasonable price, and a cracking buy one get one half price makes it even more pleasing.

What a great little place to visit right in the heart of North Shields. Staff (on this occasion Danny) so friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back Danny for a gin cocktail and the quiz!

Came to Longsands Après bar for a pint with a friend, very chilled atmosphere. Lots of cool decor to look at around the cafe and there is also a guitar you can play if you wish to do so (not my thing). The staff here are brilliant and Danny pours a great pint. Had a pint of Brewdog Planet Pale which they now have on tap. There is also a wall of their own clothing line products which look great and are a good price. Overall great experience and I will definitely come back again.

Great grilled cheese and a top notch coffee!

First visit today and will be back. Lovely cosy place with a good atmosphere. Friendly and very helpful staff.

Lovely server. There was an extremely challenging customer in there and handled with lots of grace (more than I would have managed)!!!! Super friendly staff - I live up the road and it's great to have delicious coffee on the door step.

Great place with some cool clothing for sale.
